To achieve deep cuts in US emissions, state-driven policy is only slightly more expensive than nationally uniform policy

Using a multi-sector model of human and natural systems, we find that the nationwide cost from state-varying climate policy in the United States is only one-tenth higher than that of nationally uniform policy....

The surprisingly inexpensive cost of state-driven emission control strategies

Traditionally, analysis of the costs of cutting greenhouse gas emissions has assumed that governments would implement idealized, optimal policies such as uniform economy-wide carbon taxes. Yet actual policies ...

Improved representation of investment decisions in assessments of CO₂ mitigation

Assessments of emissions mitigation patterns have largely ignored differences in investment risk across technologies and regions. With a model accounting for such differences in the electricity generation sect...

Market Exchange Rates Or Purchasing Power Parity: Does The Choice Make A Difference To The Climate Debate?

Critics of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on Emission Scenarios claim that the use of market exchange rates (MER) rather than purchasing power parity (PPP) to measure gross dome...

Emissions and Atmospheric CO₂ Stabilization: Long-Term Limits and Paths

The objective of stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations is often envisioned as a monotonic approach to higher constant concentrations. For CO₂ to approach a constant concentration over a finite time, CO₂ ...

Atmospheric CO₂ Projections with Globally Averaged Carbon Cycle Models

The principal objective of this analysis is to attempt to project the level of CO₂ in the atmosphere over the next century (to the year 2075). Knowledge of future atmospheric CO₂ concentrations is necessary to es...
